I am worried about Joe Sugg. He hasn't looked well for ages. He's never been that big but he looks gaunt and his face cheeks sunken.
Thought the same about Dianne, don’t usually like to comment on peoples weight etc but she looked almost frail for a while. Must be the mouse sized portions 🤣
They probably spend all of their time making content for their Instagram and channels. They have always been very slim, let’s hope it’s nothing more than a busy schedule.

I fear it might be an eating disorder because I recognise the signs from people who's suffered in the past both people in every day life I know and celebrities who have come out to say they have suffered from this terrible illness. It wouldn't be a shock if a few years down the line he released a book and brought it up maybe saying it stemmed from getting in shape for the demands of Strictly and trying to keep up with his girlfriend who has to stay fit for her own profession. Men just don't talk about stuff like that as much :(
 
I‘d love to know how much input the professional and celeb have into the theme for Movie Week. Something like Ugo doing Moana seems to have been chosen specifically for his daughters. Dianne and Dev got a great reaction when they did Aladdin and I sense she now chooses to go for the sillier theme to try and replicate that each year. She loves the Muppets and I remember her and Joe dancing to a song from it. I hated her Simpsons dance with Max but maybe this one will be better.
Dianne did say she had plenty of ideas for movie week and looked excited…. This was a few weeks back, so maybe they do get a bit of input into what kinda thing they want??

I'm hoping Strictly has put her back on the right track as she was really looking like she'd conk out on the dance floor a few months ago when she was eating giant tupperwares of cabbage for lunch!
Oh god the cabbage lunch that was ‘so yummy’!! 🤢

He looked skinny when he started SCD. He has such a long thin neck.
 
I think with Joe he is a naturally skinny man with long neck and limbs, and as he ages his skin tends to sag which all makes him look unhealthy. I rather think it's the other way round with Dianne though and having a skinny boyfriend triggers her as she already has an ED (I say "has" instead of had as she mentioned it in an article and these things rarely tend to go away). She looked a lot healthier before she started living with Joe.

I think it was last year when it all kicked off on social media over racist/transphobic/xenophobic tweets of his and other things he had said/done. Can’t remember exactly as I have tried to banish the man from my thoughts ever since but people were fuming about it, rightly so.

So, again, what did he say or do that makes him fit the labels you've given him? Must have passed me by too, all I remember is his glowering in the background when his wife had snogged her partner.

As i said in my original post I can’t remember as it was well over a year ago and I didn’t save any of the posts. I remember it kicking off on twitter and then on one of the digital spy forums.
 
Sean, like many comedians is prob a bit of a predator, so I really feel for Katya falling for him.
We seen him in one of his first gigs after he went under the radar following this (he supported someone, we didn’t choose to see him lol). He was an obnoxious twit! Wasn’t funny at all and his whole set was just poor me about the way the press ruined his life.
I feel for Katya too!
 
Successfully banished from your thoughts then.

Agree with the thoughts on singers and if they're right for some of the songs. Whenever I wonder if I'm being too harsh I feel a certain sympathy with them over the songs they're given e.g. the Jet song last night which he did well with, to be fair.
 
Might be in the minority but I’m glad Nina went tonight (and not just because I adore Gorka).
I didn’t like either of her dances - especially last weeks. Her facial expressions to the critism last night and to being in the bottom two made me think of Lovey Caroline from last year 😳.
I hope Katie pulls it out the bag for next week. I think she was quite poorly marked compared to some. Or rather some were over marked compared to her.
 
I’ve only recently been watching this thread the past few days so forgive me if you talked about it before but I think it’s kinda unfair to have a couple leave when another couple is currently unable to be competing. Also can’t wait for Tom and Amy’s sob story of having only 2 days to learn a routine as they won’t be out of their separate isolations till Wednesday. It seemed a bit odd to me that they tested positive on a Sunday when surely they would have had to do a test before the live show on Saturday, why would they then have a positive result on the Sunday which is normally everyone’s day off🤔
